Tulsa art project in Greenwood District awarded $1 million

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has announced a $1 million gift to The Greenwood Art Project in Tulsa.

“Nearly 100 years after violence rocked Black Wall Street, and 50 years after a highway cut the neighborhood in half, the Greenwood Art Project responds with a message of unity and hope,” Bloomberg said in a press release issued by the city. “The project will commemorate a community that once existed – and inspire people to envision a better, fairer future.”
